This is confusing, yes.

BTW., you forgot the GNUstep Software Index <http://www.gnustep.org/ 
softwareindex/> and the Application List: <http://wiki.gnustep.org/ 
index.php/Category:Applications>. This makes at least three locations  
claming to be the official list for GNUstep software. Plus a few non- 
development apps considered as part of core GNUstep (GWorkspace,  
GNUmail).

Perhaps things would become better if applications would stop  
claiming to be written _for_ GNUstep. The idea of GNUstep being a  
desktop environment is abandoned, so applications can be written  
_with_ GNUstep at best.
